Thanks all for your good wishes regarding my long awaited appointment with the hand surgeon today. The man granted me precisely FOUR Minutes of his precious time! TRUE. My mother was outside & timed it! It became clear that because I'd had cts surgery by another surgeon that he knows personally, he really didn't want to treat me. He said he'd been unable to trace my file as the referral hadn't stated who the cts surgeon was.

I told him that my GP had referred me to him despite me asking to go back to the guy who did my hands in the first place. She told me he wasn't doing much hand surgery these days. According to this guy that was BS.

I've just written to my GP, telling him that I want to go back to the guy who did my cts surgery, even if I have to wait another 4 months. There's no way on this earth that this arrogant man I met today, will come anywhere near my arms with a scalpel.

He did however refer me for nerve conduction testing so I'll at last find out for myself whether or not it hurts LOL I'm not holding my breath as to when the appointment will be though!
